Wade last year.According to the Gallup poll, nearly 70% of Americans say abortion should generally be legal in the first three months of pregnancy.

"That’s why a lot of women come here for their late-term abortions but I think as long as the abortion lobby is going to continue to push for abortion on demand for a...
